The Old Women In Question

What is it about the elderly that makes us squeal with delight? Perhaps it's their frail bodies or their mothball smell? Maybe it's their sometimes unconventional views of society and the world? Or is it their love and appreciation for the younger generations? Well, actually we love old people for all these reasons and MORE! Basically this love can be summed up in one word: HOTT. Yes, hott.

In this blog entry, I will focus on two of the most popular old women with whom Matt and I dearly adore.

Bea Arthur (Left) and Angela Lansbury (Right) are fucking hott.

These two women are so fucking hott, I just can't control myself. Why are they hott? Well, for one, as noted above, they are both old. Also, Bea and Angela both have appeared in various musical specials, films, and theater. As noted by Matt, musicals are amazing. I think Matt and I would look good as real life friends Bea and Angela. Halloween?? I would, obvi, be the freakishly manly, tall Bea Arthur. Accordingly, I would wear some hott costume jewelry and a sparkly blouse with some nice black slacks. Matt, as Angela, would go with a nice cardigan and knee length wool skirt. Of course, costume jewelry all around.

Don't worry. This will not be our last "Old People" blog or even our last "Angela x Bea OTP" blog. I have plenty more planned. ...and not just "Old People." I'm sure we'll discuss everything from television and music to scrap booking and drag shows. Perhaps we'll even have guest bloggers! Check back regularly to see what we have to say!

Now, that's that.

Each time I blog, I will keep you updated on the life of the famous Fabulous. Why do I know such information? Well, because I read his blog religiously. Since nobody else has the privilege to do this because one must be friends with him on MySpace to actually view the blog, I feel it is my duty to report to you all what is going on in his life. Here is the first of many:

FABULOUS UPDATE: "I'm gonna end up alone...planting flowers in my garden. With flamingos ...while I'm old and wrinkly watching old Spice Girl movies. *sigh*"

I would like to welcome y'all to this crazy blog. Please, feel free to comment, be offended, and/or be freaked out at any time. That's what we do.

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

Solely for the purposes of our own amusement, Kyle and I have decided to start a blog together as a means to communicate our undying love for a wide variety of strange, creepy, and altogether amazing things. We took our cue from the excellent blog "These Girls Are Crafty!", featuring everyone's favorite domestic housewives in training, Emily and Candice. If they're going to blog endlessly about arts and crafts, we view that as a carte blanche to blog about Grey's Anatomy and Billie Myers.

Kyle is likely to post something ridiculous tomorrow morning from work, but I figure I'll start this thing off right by briefly describing three of our favorite things in life.


1. Xena: Warrior Princess.


Obviously, Xena is the mother of all bad-asses, a strong woman with the ability to fell entire armies with one throw of the chakram (that's the round killing thing she's holding in her hand above). This is my absolute favorite television vixen of all time, although Kyle loves her dearly as well. With her trusty sidekick (and possibly lover?) Gabrielle, Xena wanders around a ridiculously demented version of ancient Greece, seeking to right wrongs and triumph over evil after turning from her own dark ways. In other words -- fucking hot.


2. Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Xena is to Matt as Buffy is to Kyle. We both went through our formative years obsessively watching these little bitches kick ass on-screen, and now we comfortably live in a fantasy world dominated by vampires and warlords. Although I personally think Xena would win in a fight over Buffy any day, the Vampire Slayer shows a lot of potential, although she is kind of a bitch. I'll let Kyle say good things about her, because I like all the other characters on the show better. I picked the picture above because of the presence of Giles in it. Ooh, Anthony Stewart Head, get the fuck in me.

3. Musicals.

Lately we have really been into musicals. Musicals, musicals, musicals. I can't get enough of musicals. There is something inherently amazing about an alternate reality where people randomly burst into song and dance and it's considered acceptable. Anybody who doesn't have at least some kind of soft spot for musicals is denying themselves one of the greatest pleasures in life itself. Some of my favorite musicals include Jesus Christ Superstar, Little Shop of Horrors, The Last 5 Years, Into The Woods, Tommy, Seussical: The Musical, Les Miserables, and Avenue Q. The picture above is a particularly hot shot from Mamma Mia!, a Broadway musical entirely based around songs from ABBA. If you think that the combination of musicals and ABBA is enough to make me want to have sex with anyone at any time, you'd be right.

That's all for now, because I have an exam in the morning. But I'm sure there will be more creepiness abounding on this blog quite soon.
